🎶 Rock and Roller Cola wars, I can’t take it anymore 🎶
Every year I try to give my students a fun question on their final exam. This year, I received permission to receive their answers. Over the next few weeks (i.e. summer “vacation”), I will share their answers with you, for a total of 6 questions.
Round 1: Coke or Pepsi? Defend Your Answer.
Student 1:
I prefer Coke because when I’m hot and want something refreshing I want Coke. My dad used to work for Coke, so I was raised on it.
Student 2:
Pepsi, because
- It tastes better.
- It was made here in New Bern.
- I like the color blue, which is the main color of the logo and cans.
- Pepsi products include Mountain Dew.
- Mountain Dew comes in several flavors.
Student 3:
Pepsi, because Pepsi was made here in New Bern. Also, I go the the Pepsi Store downtown quite often, and I LOVE Mtn. Dew! Pepsi also offers more drinks that I like.
P.S. The new Kickstarts are amazing! Get the strawberry kiwi.
Student 4:
I prefer Coke because Coke has a much better flavor in my opinion. On a hot summer afternoon I can always go for an ice-cold Coke, especially if I can have peanuts with it. Coke also has the acid that can assist you if you have an upset stomach.
Student 5:
Growing up in New Bern, NC – the founding city of Pepsi – Pepsi is everywhere. Pepsi weighs heavy on my heart. I think it tastes a lot better and it’s products are a better choice.
My Answer
Coke, because Pepsi tastes flat.

Running In My Head 
Always fun to have a peek inside those heads….but what? No Dr Pepper? (Which sadly I’ve given up for water these days.)

I did have one student complain Dr Pepper wasn’t an option.

Did you know that Coke said publicly that they were going to run Dr Pepper out of business (back in the 70’s)? Didn’t go over well, down here…still not a fan of bully coke HA HA
